Adoption Fees

The adoption fee is one way we subsidize the cost of caring for our rescued pets, it also serves one other function. The adoption fee will put off anybody who is not willing to spend money on properly caring for his or her companion animal. The sad reality is that if someone cannot afford a $50 – $150 adoption fee, then they are unlikely to be able to afford care for a companion when he falls ill or has an accident. Saving the money it takes to adopt a dog is a lot easier than having $500.00 cash in hand when something goes wrong and medical attention is necessary.

Current Adoption Fees:
  • $75 per kitten
  • $50 per cat
  • $150 per puppy
  • $100 per dog
